As expected, the first public release of Firefox Mobile (a.k.a Fennec) is available today for the Nokia N900. I haven’t seen a lot of big changes in this particular version, but you can check out the changelog for highlights. Obviously the big feature is support for plug-ins, but the iconic Awesome Bar, tabbed browsing, and overall excellent internet browsing experience are solid selling points. The N900 already has a great native browser though – the real test will be when Firefox comes to a platform that actually needs it, like BlackBerry. To get downloading, go to firefox.com/m on your N900.
